FEE SCHEDULE

We provide two options for fees to provide you with the best fit for your needs. We require that the parties choose which option they will use at the time of scheduling the hearing.

Option 2: The mediator charges a flat rate of $4,500.00 for a day of mediation or dispute resolution services, which includes all preparation time, hearing time and brief review time. The day starts at 10:00 a.m. and goes for as long as necessary until 12:00 midnight. Any time beyond that is billed at the rate of $450/hour.

The agreement to render services is with the attorney or representative (of any person or entity) who will be attending the hearing and the attorney and client are jointly and severally responsible for all fees and charges. All invoices are due and payable upon receipt. Any payment made after thirty days after the invoice is issued can be charged a late fee of 1.5% of the outstanding balance for each month that the amount remains outstanding.

A cancellation policy for mediation is required for several reasons:

1. More than one case is seeking to schedule mediation on the same date. Because of previously scheduled mediations, these other parties are unable to have such dates. They are then inconvenienced to either schedule for a later date or choosing another provider of mediation to get their matter resolved.
2. If a mediation is untimely cancelled, we cannot substitute another mediation to replace the lost revenue. We have reserved the time for you and are unable to conduct any other mediations during that time period on short notice. Usually mediations and hearings are booked several weeks to months before the scheduled date and, unlike an attorney’s practice, we cannot fill that time with another client matter.
